INGLEWOOD, Calif. — After starting the World Cup with two performances full of incredible verve and vibrancy, the United States finished their group stage with a showing that was erratic, inconsistent and ultimately dispiriting as they lost for the first time at this World Cup — beaten on the final kick of the game when Turkiye substitute Kaan Ayhan smashed the ball into the net off a scramble in front of goal.
